Billboard posted the nominations for the Album and Songs Awards with Post Malone, Khalid, Kanye West, and Billie Eilish having the most entries.
Kanye West and his ninth studio album "Jesus is King" dominate the Christian categories with nine nominations for Top Christian Artist, Top Gospel Artist, Top Christian Album, Top Gospel Album, and Top Christian Song. In the Top Gospel Song category, his victory is assured as four of his songs were nominated, and he will be competing against Kirk Franklin only.
Winning this year's top Latin albums and Latin songs is timely because of the ongoing Hispanic Heritage Month.
